Findlay Market's continuing presence as one of Cincinnati's most cherished institutions depends on your support. The market is an essential element of our city's downtown renaissance, a center of renewal in Over-the-Rhine, and the hub of local food in our region. Like great theater, art, music, and sports, our internationally recognized public market makes life in Cincinnati richer and more rewarding.

You can support Findlay Market in two essential ways:

By shopping year-round - the dollars you spend keep the market's unique mom-and-pop merchants in business and financially healthy.

By making a gift to the The Corporation for Findlay - your tax-deductible contribution supports the historic market itself, which cannot be maintained and improved solely with rents charged to its small family businesses.

Public markets serve a public purpose and are operated to pursue civic goals. They are such important centers of economic, social, cultural, and political commerce that other cities are trying to replicate what we've successfully maintained for generations.

Your donation helps ensure that Cincinnati's great public market will be here for generations to come, generating a wide range of public benefits by:
